To determine the justification for Step 2 in the solution process, let's carefully analyze each step.

Step 1:
[tex]\[ 7x - 25 = 4x - 1 \][/tex]

We need to isolate the variable term on one side. To do this, we add 25 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]\[ 7x - 25 + 25 = 4x - 1 + 25 \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ 7x = 4x + 24 \][/tex]

Thus, the process of moving from Step 1 to Step 2 involved adding 25 to both sides of the equation.

Hence, the property used in Step 2 is the addition property of equality.

So, the correct answer is:

B. the addition property of equality
